It’s an okay time to sell in Asheville, but prices have come down a bit. While there are more homes for sale, they are taking a little longer to sell than they were a year ago.Some homes are also having to drop their prices to find a buyer. The typical home is listed for $585,975, which is down almost 2% from what it was a year ago.This small dip in prices means you might not get as much for your home as you would have in the past year.Right now, there are 2,658 homes on the market, which is over 11% more than a year ago. This means more options for buyers, and more competition for you as a seller.Homes are staying on the market for 59 days before going under contract. This is slightly longer than last year, so patience is key.About one in four homes has had to reduce its price to attract a buyer, which is a bit less than last year, suggesting that while some price drops are happening, it's not as widespread as it once was.If you're selling, be prepared for a slightly longer selling process and price your home competitively from the start to stand out among the increased number of listings.
